Thornton House B&B

My wife and I had a terrific stay at Thornton House. The house is in a nice location between the Main St area and Mount Hosmer Lookout and Park. We enjoyed shopping at Horsfall's Variety Store (if they don't have what you're looking for, you really don't need it!) and the other shops downtown. The food in town wasn't anything special, but Frank's breakfasts at the B&B were very tasty and filling. Also, a thanks to the lady at Skinny Dip who served us some creamy ice cream to take back to the B&B. On our middle day, we made a short and scenic drive up to La Crosse, WI where we took a ride on The La Crosse Queen paddle wheel boat, then had a nice bike ride before having a surprisingly good pizza for dinner at Big Al's. Special mention for Mount Hosmer Park. The view of the Mississippi River from the lookout point is beautiful, the monuments to the local veterans very thoughtful, and the walking trails were challenging for a couple aging Boomers. We highly recommend a stay at Thornton House!

We had a very pleasant stay. Frank is a very personable and interesting host. We enjoyed our morning visits with him. Breakfast was delicious and we liked being able to eat when we were ready. The room was quiet, comfortable and cozy. As a couple, we chose the Double Room because we like to be able to spread out. The short walk to Main Street was handy as well. We’ll definitely stay again.

Frank is a great host. He was there when we had questions, but unobtrusive otherwise. Breakfast was excellent, even on the second morning when the power was out after a thunderstorm. Lansing is a fun little town with many interesting side trips available.

We stayed at Thornton House for two nights in May 2022. It is beautifully furnished and rooms are very clean and comfortable. Frank, the Innkeeper, made us feel like family while there and was extremely helpful with info on local attractions. We especially enjoyed the great breakfasts he personally made for us. We highly recommend this place for anyone staying in the Lansing area (conveniently located near downtown Lansing). Thornton House and Frank made this a memorable and relaxing stay for us and we will be back again!

Lovely home and wonderfully furnished and decorated. Stayed in the Green Room. Very comfortable and furnished nicely. Service was excellent from check in to check out. Great breakfast! Frank very knowledgeable about the history of the house (built in 1873) as well as the community. He was welcoming and courteous. Many sites to see in town and in the area. Coffee House on the river is a must to try their delicious pastries. You have to try the Kentucky Bourbon Bundt cake. If you like pizza and craft beers try the Safe House Saloon. Very scenic part of the state.
